The
current design includes rules for a number of difficult topics which I
think the RPG is unavoidably going to raise. I was hoping the RPG
community would be mature enough to handle these appropriately, but
based on the experiences of the writer of the referenced article, I no
longer think that is the case and instead any attempts I make to reify
the types of topics that naturally arise when a 4 person crew is sent on
a 10 year mission without any other human contact will have a negative
outcome.

This article has so badly shaken me, I'm now
second guessing the efforts I'm making to put a little more detail in
classic TV tropes such as a multi-ethnic crew.

To
people who've been waiting to play test this, I would like to
apologize. I'm going to have a long think about whether or not I want to
continue any efforts with this design and then how to approach or
censor the topics I want to handle.
